V$SESSION

V$SESSION Column SADDR SID SERIAL#

displays session information for each current session.

Datatype RAW(4 | 8) NUMBER NUMBER Description Session address Session identifier Session serial number. Used to uniquely identify a session's objects. Guarantees that session-level commands are applied to the correct session objects if the session ends and another session begins with the same session ID.

NUMBER RAW(4 | 8) NUMBER

VARCHAR2(30) Oracle username NUMBER Command in progress (last statement parsed); for a list of values, see Table 9-2. These values also appear in the AUDIT_ACTIONS table. Identifier of the user who owns the migratable session; the column contents are invalid if the value is 2147483644 For operations using Parallel Slaves, interpret this value as a 4byte value.
